An idiot who pretends to be a Navy SEAL, but never was one. Some phony SEALs do it to impress chicks at a bar, and others do it because they want everyone in their life to believe that they were a Navy SEAL.

Usually, the type of person who does this had a less than glorious job in the Military. Many haven't even served in the Military at all.

Real SEALs are humble about their jobs, and do go around bragging about being one. Phony SEALs are the opposite. They can't wait to tell someone that they're a Navy SEAL, and will go on with endless bullshit stories about it. They like the "ooo and aaahh" reactions that people give them. They want to intimidate people and get respect. All because they're not winners, and never did anything notable in real life to earn any respect in the first place.

"Hi, my name's John Smith, I'm a Navy SEAL and I've done a lot of ""black ops"" in foreign countries and killed a ton of people!"
